So I should write a job which cleans up 1 month old results or something like that?

It doesn’t seem to cleanup this tmp files, googling for it I run into some tickets about a cleanup setting, should I enable this with the below setting? Why doesn’t it do that by default? Am I the only one somehow racking up a lot of space with tmp files? <property> <name>hive.start.cleanup.scratchdir</name> <value>true</value> </property>
